🌶 Like an Indian

This isn’t all-you-can-eat curry.

It’s a dinner meant for conversation, reflection, and lasting impressions.

Chef Joseph will guide you through the art of eating like an Indian —

with your hands, elegantly and intuitively —

inviting you to experience warmth and movement from your fingertips to your palate.

using your hands, your senses, and your appetite.
